Book Description
Chapter 2 examines the notion of exteriority at work in Aristotle's theory of change. The time chapters of the Physics receive special attention in the book, anticipating the readings of Heidegger and Derrida in highlighting time and exteriority. Chapter 3 reads "Ousia and Gramme," in which Derrida reads Heidegger's reading of Aristotle's determination of Hegel's theory of time.

Book Description
Taking place examines feminist and queer alternative art spaces across Canada and the United States from the late-1960s to the present. It looks at how queer and feminist artists working in the present day engage with, respond to and challenge the institutions they have inherited. Through a series of regional case studies, the book interrogates different understandings of ‘alternative’ space and the possibilities the term affords for queer and feminist artistic imaginaries.

Book Description
Flexible housing is housing that can adjust to the changing needs of the user and accommodate new technologies as they emerge. Flexible Housing by Jeremy Till and Tatjana Schneider examines the past, present and future of this important subject through over 160 international examples. Specially commissioned plans, printed to scale, together with over 200 illustrations and diagrams provide fascinating detail and allow direct visual comparisons to be made. Combining history, theory and design the book explains the social and economic benefits that can be achieved and shows the various ways it has been and can be delivered. The book ends with an accessible guide to how flexible housing might be designed and constructed today to achieve adaptable and ultimately sustainable buildings. Housing designers, housing managers and students of architecture, construction and housing will find this book of immense value both as a comprehensive reference and design manual.

Book Description
“A tantalizing must-read for raw foods enthusiasts as well as chefs, restaurateurs, lovers of memoirs and biographies, and of course fans of Kenney’s.” —Raw Foods News Magazine An expansive, entertaining memoir that tells the story of how Matthew Kenney transitioned from a mainstream celebrity chef in New York, to a pioneer of plant-based cuisine, and his mission to change the way the world eats and thinks about food. Cooked Raw highlights a journey of courage, persistence, risk, the reward of following one’s passion, and the future of food for the 21st century. “Kenney has provided a window into celebrity chefs, the costs, the competition, and the struggles to stay true to their own lives.” —San Francisco Book Review Praise for Matthew Kenney “Everyone thought the raw diet was a fad soon to pass, but it’s alive and well. [Kenney] is a virtuoso when it comes to raw and living cuisine.” —Huffington Post “In 2004 Matthew Kenney and his then girlfriend, Sarma Melngailis, opened Pure Food and Wine, the restaurant that, perhaps for the first time in New York City’s illustrious dining history, made health food sexy.” —Vogue “A founding father of the American raw food scene.” —Well + Good “Kenney has created a movement that aims to be as inclusive, accessible, and educational as possible.” —LA Canvas

Book Description
This 2002 book investigates the opportunities in building intelligent decision support systems offered by multi-agent distributed probabilistic reasoning. Probabilistic reasoning with graphical models, also known as Bayesian networks or belief networks, has become increasingly an active field of research and practice in artificial intelligence, operations research and statistics. The success of this technique in modeling intelligent decision support systems under the centralized and single-agent paradigm has been striking. Yang Xiang extends graphical dependence models to the distributed and multi-agent paradigm. He identifies the major technical challenges involved in such an endeavor and presents the results. The framework developed in the book allows distributed representation of uncertain knowledge on a large and complex environment embedded in multiple cooperative agents, and effective, exact and distributed probabilistic inference.

Book Description
Probes the interrelationship of violence and space in 10 contemporary American novels. James R. Giles examines 10 novels for the unique ways they explore violence and space as interrelated phenomena. These texts are Russell Banks’s Affliction, Cormac McCarthy’s Outer Dark and Child of God, Lewis Nordan’s Wolf Whistle, Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina, Don DeLillo’s End Zone, Denis Johnson’s Angels, Sherman Alexie’s Indian Killer, Robert Stone’s Dog Soldiers, and Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho. These stories take place in settings as diverse as small towns, college campuses, suburbs, the brokerage houses and luxury apartments of Wall Street, football stadiums, Appalachian hills, and America’s no-man’s-land of Greyhound bus stations and highways. Violence, Giles finds, is mythological and ritual in many of these novels, whereas it is treated as systemic and naturalistic in others. Giles locates each of the novels he studies on a continuum from the mythological to the naturalistic and argues that they represent a fourthspace at the margins of physical, social, and psychological space, a territory at the cultural borders of the mainstream. These textual spaces are so saturated with violence that they suggest little or no potential for change and affirmation and are as degraded as the physical, social, and mental spaces out of which they emerge.A concluding chapter extends the focus of The Spaces of Violence to texts by Jane Smiley, Toni Morrison, Edwidge Danticat, and Chuck Palahniuk, who treat the destructive effects of violence on family structures.

Book Description
For many decades, science has followed a few well-accepted theories about the universe. There are many inconsistencies in these theories, and this book will introduce some new alternate concepts, which cannot be peer-reviewed, regarding the atom, gravity, time, the speed of light, and more. One major concept that we have been following for five centuries is one where our three-dimensional nature (which is changing continuously) is quantified through a mechanical, one-dimensional, static mathematic equation that does not recognize temperature or pressure. Traditionally, science has tried to predict how the universe functions by creating this modeling system for nature, but how can you possibly create an equation for nature, which is unique and ever-changing? Newton's theory of gravity has postulated that gravity is based on the mechanical weight of an object and is generated from the center of a planet, yet they cannot explain exactly what gravity is. We will show that the gravity of Earth, planets, and moons--in fact, the whole universe--is working with the temperature, pressure, and mass of an object on a molecular basis. Additionally, science has been following a standard modeling theory for an atom on a quantum mechanics level. Empirical evidence will show that an atom cannot be mechanical in nature or follow this man-made model. You will also be introduced to universal time, how time/space is relative, how science is wrong about the speed of light, the definition of three elements that are responsible for everything in the universe, and how the smallest unit of the universe was born and its journey to create heavier atoms. We will solve the mystery of the double-slit experiment as well as explain the character of space and the language of the universe. All this and more is described in easy-to-understand layman's terms.
